There is so much weirdness about this "Hey, look I have a 1982 calendar" story.
Who the hell at the age of 53 is still in possession of a calendar from when they were
17 years old?
Where were these stored? Does he have boxes of crap like this up in his attic, boxes he's been lugging around with him for over 30 years?
And even if these are authentic calendars, they mean nothing.
I can show you my date book from last month and there are a number of things that that are written down that never happened, things like a dental appointment... but I really didn't feel like getting my teeth cleaned and I rescheduled. Or I was suppose to take a class at REI about camping but there was a big thunderstorm and I didn't go. And then there were a bunch of things that did happen that weren't written down, like my mom calling me that her boyfriend was in the E.R. and that I spent 5 hours with them at the hospital because he had stomach poisoning. Calendars and datebooks prove nothing.
This new alibi is complete bullshit. I honestly feel like I am going to self-combust.

As soon as you got that phone call didn't you write all it down, including date, time and place, to be sure you didn't forget about it? What if you were the guy who was supposed to pick up the keg, which you couldn't do because you were only 17, so you had to contact some friend's older brother to get it for you? Plans must be made!
2:00 Call Biff's brother Chad about keg.
2:15 Borrow $ from dad for beer, also car
5:00 Pick up keg, Chad's place.
7:30 Walgreen's, buy Brut spray & rubbers
8:00 Partay, Chip's house!
Isn't that what your social calendar looked like?

It's the same thing when everyone in the GOP swears that Kavanaugh was such a "good guy" he would never have done anything like that.... just like priests and ministers "would never" molest children, and the doctors or the coaches "would never"... or your boss, the cop, or the judge "would never" ...
